Q Review

 

Day Twenty-Four

Hello and welcome

to the Capital Letter Review

The issue is Q.

A letter of élan

accented French

with an august axis

distinguished from your

humdrum Cs or Es.

The undisputed

aristocracy of alphabet.

But we're so font-full,

some have begun

to doubt this heritage, 

feeling words

containing Q

carry a certain pretence.

Younger generations

increasingly observe

its reliance on u.

Let's look at Qs on the market:

The Georgian Q

It sits, a

doltish dog, asking

Shall I fetch a u?

The Courier Q

Just look at this loafer, this

Four-twenty surfer, just

Go get a job

(and a u).

Old-man Arial Q, who

has strayed the nursing home

stick-leaning, wondering

where'd I put my u?

Our quarterly review has qualms

About this quaint and quirky quantity, it

Hardly qualifies quintessential, say,

Even within this quick quintuple, it's

Quietly become quite antiquated.

Let us be honest

with letters

it's all about character.

This convoluted O, so

co-dependent is

redundant and rare but

overabundant;

It's hardly worth

waiting in line.

How Q pales in the

high-kick dynamic
